Marketing InformationPLAS In-Line Rotary Cutters are excellent for cutting PVC or PE pipe in trench or above ground. Each PLAS rotary cutter needs just 6 to 8 (153 - 203 mm) clearance around the pipe, making them easy to operate in trench and with lower prep costs. Outboard rollers keep the cutter aligned on pipe, ensuring a square cut every time. Each PLAS cutter also can produce, in-line with the cut, a 15deg bevel on both sides of the pipe using bevel blade PLAS4B*. For cutting PVC pipe, the long-lasting carbide-tipped blades penetrate up to a 2 wall thickness. For cutting PE pipe**, REED developed a hardened, tool steel blade for best cutting results. The engineered blade tip drives chips out of the way while cutting PE. PLAS In-Line Rotary Cutters can retrofit from PVC to PE or vice versa with alternate PLAS In-Line Rotary Pipe Cutter Blades. *Bevel blade PLAS4B included with PVC models 04470, 04475, 04480 and 04485; can also be added to PE models.
